It’s Korean BBQ… If you’ve been to one, you’ve been to them all. Not my favorite cuisine but take that with a grain of salt. The place was Smokey, the ground was slick from grease, but the meats just keep on coming! Quality was good, not a ton of vegetable options but you don’t go here for that. Like I said from the start, it’s Korean BBQ.

This place was awesome! We stuffed ourselves silly! I know it was good because my friend’s wife is Korean and he said this was good! They didn’t have lettuce leaves, or seaweed, or hot dogs, but we loved the meat and squid.Thank you… we loved our Korean server… our original server had a very serious look that was not inviting.But other than that, GREAT place! Packed and noisy… but fun environment.Maybe not for young kids.

I'm lazy to write a review, but I had to write one for this terrible place. Their table is small, and their stove underneath is big fat with a metal edge that hurt my knee. When I sat down, my knee got hit pretty hard by a metal edge under the table, and my knee was still in pain for two days. Their dish on the table was oily and dirty, I cleaned it with a napkin, and it absorbed oil and some red stuff that seemed to be chili pepper. This place is not clean. They don't wash their dishes properly. The waiter was grumpy and often forgot or intentionally ignored our orders more than four times. Their outside tables still have roofs and glass walls around them and no ventilation on each table; too much smoke flowed around us. Their BBQ stove was not hot enough to cook the meats, we asked the waiter to fix the temperature, and he said it's normal; it just takes a long time to cook. We asked to change the table because they only allow two hours to stay. The waiter rolled his eyes and walked away. There are bugs everywhere, crawling on my legs and on dirty dishes sitting next to my face, waiters talking crap with co-workers regardless of who can hear them talking. They do not care. Their website does not have any contact form or email address to write a complaint, and their manager is not available to take a call regarding this complaint.

Great Korean bbq!!! Wow big selection of different cuts and marinates for $32.99 . We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of the meats. Generous portions and very quick attentive service! All the little sides were good as well.The only thing I personally didn't like is the quality of chop sticks, very cheap kinds. Other than that amazing food!!! I highly recommend trying this place. Would absolutely come back.They also have a lunch menu and halal menu.

My first Korean bbq experience and definitely not the last! They do serve HALAL beef and chicken , you can order up to 4 dishes per time, start grilling and order more, marinated food is delicious, make sure you go on an empty stomach.The mint lemonade and the ice cream macarons are not included in the price pp for dinner, but worth trying !

Korean BBQ is always fun. The marinated beef was really good, the bulgogi was good. Service we had was excellent. A word of caution the marinated chicken get a half order, a full order fills up two people. The Korean side dishes we're good and plentiful.

Saturday afternoon was seated right away, just 3 of us. First tip is don't wear anything nice here. You will leave smelling like a smoked fire pit. But it's worth it. They have a special halal menu and right on the table is the QR code to look it up. First time here and kids did all the cooking. The waitress was so kind and wanted us to try one more thing, just to make her happy we ordered it. Steak marinade. Delicious! And she didn't even charge us. Gave it on the house. I thought that was really kind. Fun restaurant for kids, it's experience dining. Not a place to go regularly, as my clothes kept the smoky smell all day, so this is a place for one offs and when you're craving halal Korean bbq.

Been here a few times and each time this place gets better. Best Korean restaurant in the area.I love the different choices of meats you can get and all the sides that comes with it. The waiters also come and change your grill a few times so you always get a clean grill.The place has a fun vibe and would be a great place to bring a group of people who want to try different meat and seafood items.Overall, the food, drinks, and experience were all amazing, and I definitely recommend this restaurant :)

We ate off the Halal Menu. All the beef items were great, the chicken was okay and we didn't get to try much of the other stuff. We had at 75 min wait and then last call was within half hour of us sitting and we weren't informed that it would be so early (last call was 9:45 and the place closed at 11) before we chose to wait the 75 min. Overall it was a fun experience and the food was yummy. I would definitely go again.
